My bars are also 11" across the bottom but are about 1/2" short of each side of my top tree......

Big thanks Mike. I have to unsolder the switches and resolder the wires Bill pre-installed to them. (I took both Mike and Bill's suggestion and let Bill pre-wire them for $20).
Then cover the stock wire loom with braided look loom. I got some clear shrink wrap to protect the frame from the loom if needed.
The Magnum Sterling II lines will have shrink wrap added where they might rub also.
I still haven't painted the 2" tank lift pieces, so they might go on later.
Some have said the tank lift leaves a gap at the front of the tank.
I thought I could buy a chrome muffler tip at a auto store to cut and cover that if needed.

Thanks guys. Yep that dirty Rocker Dan posting links to beefy frontends. 
That won't be until next year though. Some cool/mean looking inverted or tinned frontends out there for sure.

Bill emailed me back.
He said he would cut them to size and get them re-chromed.
I thanked him but told him it wasn't worth all the the hassle and was installing them as is on Friday.
Stand up guy for offer in my book.

Thanks, CountryDeluxe.
A buddy has a 08 wide glide I ride with and I can see him shaking his head when women walking by, smile say hi and nice bike to me.
Yours is a fine looking So Cal bike too.

kowan, looks sweet bro! Can't wait to see them on the bike. Mine were 11 1/2 inches wide and mounted on a 1" riser. Bad news for me was the bars hit the tank with the 2" lift kit installed. Had to remove the tank lift or change out the risers.... i removed the tank lift.

Oh... I'll have to watch that on mine, JLOX.
My risers are the 1 1/2" and would have my bars low also.
Thanks for the heads up. I might do a trial fit before painting them incase I run into the same problem.
